STOP WORKING BROKE PODCAST
Financial Anxiety: Why Business Owners Stay Broke Without a Financial Plan with Ronnie Slomkowski
If the anxiety never shuts off, this episode is for you. When you’re buried in jobs, chasing checks, and the phone goes quiet the moment you stop pushing, it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because the systems around your money are broken. On this episode of the Stop Working Broke Podcast, Chad Murray sits down with licensed financial professional Ronnie Slomkowski to talk about the financial stress most business owners live with every day but rarely fix.
Most service business owners know they should have a financial plan, but they keep putting it off. Money feels overwhelming, confusing, and easy to avoid until the stress becomes constant. In this conversation, Chad and Ronnie break down why avoiding finances quietly fuels anxiety, bad decisions, and burnout. They talk honestly about why selling your business is not a guaranteed retirement plan, why small consistent investing beats waiting for the perfect moment, and why building a business without a financial foundation often leads to working longer and harder with nothing to show for it.
Ronnie explains how real financial freedom is built by putting simple systems in place, not by becoming a market expert or gambling on someday. The discussion covers protection, debt strategy, investing, retirement planning, and the discipline required to stay steady when fear and market noise show up. Chad shares real-world lessons from selling his own service business and why clarity around money is often the missing piece behind constant pressure and poor decisions.
This episode isn’t about hype or motivation. It’s about creating stability so the anxiety stops running your business and your life. Freedom doesn’t start when you make more money. It starts when you stop avoiding the numbers and start building systems that work without constant panic.
Ronnie Slomkowski works with business owners and families to create complete financial plans focused on clarity, confidence, and long-term freedom.
